Ukraine has been invaded by Russia and lost land for years now. This isn't a conspiracy theory, but is instead conspiracy fact.

The strategy of appeasement is known to fail because it emboldens dictators like Hitler or Putin to always want and take more.

Putin already has taken a large chunk of Ukraine and Georgia with invasions that launched during a prior olympic event.

He needs to be stopped so that Ukraine doesn't end up getting another Russian imposed genocide and the world doesnt't end up in WW3.

> Georgia with invasions that launched during a prior olympic event

At least in case of Georgia, this is incorrect. The "invasion" was initiated by Georgian advance on Tskhinvali, and as a final result of this "invasion", no territorial changes have occurred, and the Russian troops haven't moved anywhere they haven't been for centuries already (including all the way up to 2008). If the goal was to invade Georgia, how come when it was all done nobody moved even a mile closer to Tbilisi, and even that clown fool Saakashvili was allowed to continue to embarrass himself in the same role?

What, exactly, was the goal, and the result of this "invasion"?
